Above: You can escape Tuesday and Wednesday’s heat at $1 movies feature the popular minions and Peanuts crew. Plus Kidgits is offering free fun activities after the show.
Last week I shared some tips on where you can escape the heat. One was the Solomon Pond Mall, which has a playspace for kids. Turns out there are more reasons to take kids there this summer.
As in past years, the Regal Cinema is holding it’s special $1 movie mornings for tots. What I didn’t know was that the mall is also hosting free a “Summer Fun Lab” those mornings, following the showings.
Calling all junior scientists, artists and chefs on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in July and August for an interactive, entertaining and hands-on experience with Simon Kidgits Club. Weekly activities feature exciting themes like crafting, weather, mask-making and even ice cream!
Both events take place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays through mid-late August. The special matinees take place at 10:30 am. Summer Fun Labs take place from 11:30 am – 12:30 pm at the food court.
More good news is that the Simon Kidgits club is now free to join – so their events are truly free. (Well, except for what you end up spending in the food court or concession stand! But that’s optional.)
This Tuesday and Wednesdays are forecast to be HOT again. The library is offering entertaining science on Tuesday. But no kids activities are scheduled in town during the day on Wednesday. So, it looks like a good time to swing over to Marlborough. (Especially if your kids love the Minions or Snoopy.)
Below is the list of upcoming activities and movies by date.
